                              Additional Tools

                      You have also learnt about the basic tools of GIMP. In this chapter, you will learn about some
                      advanced tools and features which help you in editing images more efficiently.

                            WORKING WITH LAYERS

                      Layers are transparent sheets which are stacked on top of each other so that individual objects
                      of an image can be edited without affecting other objects. We can add new layers, change the
                      position of layers, delete layers and customise layers. When we create a new image in GIMP, it
                      exists as a single layer, called as Background layer. We can add many layers in a file. They all get
                      added on top of the background layer. Each layer can be edited separately. The Layers palette
                      displays all layers. It also has buttons to create a new layers or delete an existing one.
